Few minutes into the second half Winstone Kalengo made a jubilant break through but soon the efforts where thwarted as the Congolese read the Chipolopolo relaxed defence moves and the strikers unconnected efforts after scoring, taking advantage and sharpened the game with their forward wingers who destroyed Zambia’s play.
